Une Fleure Fanée
***MATURE WARNING*** "The hunger is good. You had too many calories already. You're already fat." "They'll love you even more when you're skinny. You'll be their perfect little angel when you're nice and pretty." "Lilly, I heard you puking up the cupcake in the bathroom, and then you whispered, 'So many calories,'" "Red everywhere, just washed away by the shower drain." "She starts shaking and jerking around, making noises like she's gasping for air." This is Lilly Ketchman's life. Eating disorders affect 9% of America. Anorexia affects 0.5% of the female population in the U.S. Bulimia affects 1.5% of the female population in America. But in that 1.5%, you don't expect a 7-year-old who just wants to be a dance star. Lilliana Ketchman goes by Lilly. Please call her Lilly. Lilliana is too painful for her. Lilliana is what the eating disorder calls her. She seems to be a happy-go-lucky kid. The kid that puts a smile on anybody's face and lights up the whole room. But she can never put a real smile on her own face or make herself happy. She's beautiful, but she doesn't believe it. Because Ms. Abby never lies. Bulimia. How the hell does a 7-year-old figure out how to make themself throw up and understand that that can make them skinny? It doesn't matter. Bulimia takes over her life for two years. Two whole years she withered away. Until her mother forces her to the hospital. She used to be in this big black vortex of pain and suffering, but she's stronger. She got help and recovered. And now, she's back two years later at the Abby Lee Dance Company to dance again. But will Lilly stay strong when Ms. Abby starts commenting the same stuff to her? Will she fall back into the same patterns, or worse, create even deadlier patterns?Complete

The Dancing Darling and Her Bad Boy (Completed)
Quick side note: This book was originally named 'The Bad Boy, The Secret, and Me' and was renamed to its current title as of 27/04/2018 for existing/re-readers. It is not a werewolf/alpha story but simply my first book on here which started quite cliche from a young writer's perspective (so please do excuse my mistakes during your time reading). With that said, enjoy! --------------------------------------------------- "Who are you, Ally Parks?" I ask her. "No-one that you would care about," She replies. "You're living in my house, I would care to know something about you," Allison Parker is just an average girl. But she's also the best dancer in the school, and she's won competitions and everything! But she had to stop competing a while back, but why? Beckett Graham, the typical cliché 'Bad Boy'. Best at everything. Sport,cars,style, girls, But can he do EVERYTHING? Well... He can't seem to stop himself from staring at the beautiful girl at the studio before school one morning. He has no idea who she is, and at school, she's a completely different person. But what happens when she's made to live with the guy? Is she the girl at school or the girl she is when no one is looking? But people get suspicious, and that's what happens when Beckett notices that Allison is never around. What happens when he finds out who she really is? Find out in The Bad Boy,The Secret, and Me. © All Rights ReservedComplete
